Throughout July, MCIAA, together with its Medical Division and Occupational Safety and Health Committee, proudly observed Nutrition Month 2024, embracing the theme “Sa Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) Sama-Sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat!”

The celebration kicked off with a Virtual Lecture on July 19, featuring expert speakers Dr. Pearl B. Adriatico and Dr. Raphael D. Fernandez, who discussed the Philippine Plan of Action on Nutrition (PPAN) and National Disability Rights Week. This insightful session highlighted the nation’s efforts toward better nutrition and inclusivity for all Filipinos.
